I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
I’m doing my bucket list now, before it’s too late. I went to the Oregon Coast yesterday and did the whole Life is Strange field trip, which was fun.
I don’t know how much time I have left: could be a month, could be the back half of my natural life. I’m not gonna waste any of it.
Also I swear to god it smells like TERF in here, someone’s downvoting is cause we’re trans.
We’re thriving and happy and I mix those downvotes in with my tea.
Eh, I hope the best for them too, and that they one day see the errors of themselves for blind hatred. Not much I can do about it. I’ve been out and transitioning for nearly 15 years now. The current hatred has a new form, but it’s not the first time I’ve been called horrible things or told to kms or been scared of politics.
I can’t change anyone’s mind. I just try to live my life on my own terms and be the person I needed. I just see people like terfs as people who grew up in a small town, or had a bad experience with someone like me. Fear of the unknown is a hell of a drug.
I wrote it into a poem once, “I wish you knew me as a person, before you hated me as a perception.” No matter the argument, no matter the conversation, it ain’t gonna change the mind of a bigot. Especially todays works. So I just leave em to it. Block, downvoten, whatever, and move on. Maybe that makes me a coward, I dunno. It’s just not worth screaming to the void, anymore.
Anyway,
Oregon coast seems the tits! I’ve always wanted to see Thors Well nearby like, Newport? I think?
Cheers to a long, uneventful life for you. I hope we may live in precedented times, for the rest of it, and… for once in the past 30 years, maybe.
